Penelope and this chicken want you to know that you don’t need to take a masterclass, sign up for the free webinar, or add your email address if it doesn’t feel good. No pressure to find out what seven things you need to know to make your business successful or ‘the one thing’ that will make your website show up first in search. If it makes you jumpy or breathy or whatever, it’s not for you. If it feels good, then sign up for the thing, join the webinar, do the stuff. Otherwise, just do next what feels right. Just get started. Most of the time, we know more than we think we do and are capable of more than we give ourselves credit for, so when you’re done reading this, let’s just turn off the internet and do the stuff. And Penelope says she loves you.
Oh darling, all of the minutiae we humans enjoy. The heaviness of thoughts we carry today will be ounces eventually. Instead, today may I remember the things I would oppose are on the opposite end of the same stick of what I would celebrate. May I know the peace and love of things as they actually are, not as I’ve been instructed to see and know them. May I see that woman as myself, that man as myself. May I live my life everyday in the realization that whatever my emotion may be towards that I would disagree with - anger, fear, empathy, or love - that emotion will be my offering to the world. May I see god and love in the sky and air and in the trees and in the clouds and sea and all that surrounds us. May I remember what my mind would oppose, my heart would hold in love. Truly, dear one, all things are being made new.
Although many might say this pic is out of the ordinary, we would say it for reasons you might not expect. Queenie and Nels, on the porch, together. Up to this point, Queenie had baptized Penelope a sworn enemy, barking on her encroachment near the house with the vigor as if she were a coyote infringing upon her guarded flock, instead of a chunky pig in search of company. I envision their relationship much the same as an experienced police chief dealing with the off-the-cuff shenanigans of the new rookie on the force. I still don’t know if this is the sign of a new point in their relationship arc or if Queenie has just had a long day and can’t be bothered to remove Penelope from the porch. Either way, I am happy to enjoy this sunset with these two ladies with whom I’d never have guessed I’d be sharing a sunset.
